The last 2-3 weeks I have woke up twisted around and hurting. Fortunately the hot tub is just 2 steps out the french doors of our bedroom. 20 minutes in 105 degree water changes your whole outlook on the morning.

I love the mall pretzel’s, I allow myself one every 6-8 months. Take care of your hands, I hope this passes soon.

Wren, I’ve had only one minor episode of blurred vision, but nothing like the first two. I was supposed to get my eyes dilated this past week, but had to reschedule to this coming week. Thanks for asking, I’ll be sure to keep you posted!

Those mall pretzels were sinfully good, as I recall. Soft, warm, salty. I had to wash mine down with an Orange Julius. Of course, this was in the Olden Days. I would never eat or drink such horrible things today… ;o)

RA Guy, I do so feel for you and those pretzel-like hands. Mine hurt and ache, but they don’t do contortions during the night. Does soaking them in very, very hot water help with the pain and stiffness? Sometimes I do my dishes by hand JUST so I can plunge my hands into the hot water. We have a very nice, efficient dishwasher, so my family thinks I’m nuts …

Hope you’ll be feeling much better as the weekend progresses. Also, I’m wondering if you’ve learned anymore about the blurred vision episodes? You’ve been on my mind. Take care, okay?

When my kids were in highschool band, they earned trip money with the band staffing the Orlando Arena concession stands with the band parents supervising (and doing beer duty) We had to salt those darn pretzels before every event….a secret…if you ordered one with light salt…we took one from the back bin and brushed half the salt of. Of course that didn’t make it any less salty, since the pretzels were sparyed with water before salting so the salt would stick!
No snowmen here today..pouring rain instead.

Yes–I remember those mall pretzels. Yikes–scary to think about that! We have about 6 inches of snow—so far. Tomorrow should be a good day to make a snowman & drink hot chocolate. It’s still blowing & snowing today.
